Castlebar, Co. Mayo – Pigots Directory 1824 (pg 1)<\/p><\/div>\n

In 1798, Castlebar was in possession of the French invaders, under General Humbert, for nine days, but, on the approach of Marquis Cornwallis, they retreated precipitately towards Sligo, and soon after surrendered themselves prisoners of war. In the church yard is a monument to the memory of five soldiers who fell at this time. The public buildings are the castle, which stands on a commanding situation, and is now occupied as a barrack; the jail; a fine, convenient court-house; another barrack; a county infirmary; a linen-hall; public shambles; a fine spacious church, with a very lofty steeple; a Catholic chapel, and a Methodist meeting house. The business of this place is principally carried on in one main street, and its chief public buildings are seated round a spacious green, through which is a gravel promenade, overshaded by very fine trees. Here are distillery, and a brewery; but the chief support of the town is an extensive market, particularly for linen, which is held on Saturday. There are three fairs in the year, viz. on the 11th of May, the 9th of July, and the 18th of November. The population is 5120<\/p>\n
